for a special event!
- Friday, February 5, 2010 -

Cathleen Alexander (at left in the photo), Program Manager of the MHS Community Women's Shelter, and Susan Neth, MHS Executive Director, invite you to a benefit for the Shelter on Friday, February 5, 2010, at 6:30 p.m., at the Gordon Square Arcade.

More than 1,000 homeless women and children will use the 135-bed Community Women's Shelter this year. More than 100 stay at the Shelter each night. In addition to offering a safe place to stay, the Shelter offers a comprehensive range of services to help women achieve housing, income, and recovery from mental illness and substance-use disorders.

MHS and a group of dedicated individuals from business, government, non-profit, and philanthropic organizations have combined efforts to create our first public-awareness and friend-raising event to benefit the MHS Community Women's Shelter. Please join us as we celebrate the many accomplishments of those who have triumphed over homelessness. Learn about the Shelter�s role in our community and plans for its renovation, and become a part of this great work!
